yup.
yah but.......
More power spews from the Speed's twin-turbo 12-cylinder engine than that of any other Bentley ever made, and its 602 horsepower at 6000 rpm represents an eye-meltingly large increase of 50 horsepower over the base Conti GT. You can credit increased airflow, a recalibrated ECU, lighter connecting rods, and decreased internal friction for the extra power, which Bentley claims will send the GT Speed to 60 mph in 4.3 secondsquite a feat for a car that weighs nearly as much as a couple of houses.
But creating a Speed model, which has traditionally been the highest performance Bentley since the moniker's introduction on the 3.0-liter Bentley in 1923, requires more than just fiddling under the hood. The steering has been retuned, and the suspension is revised with a dropped ride height, more aggressive spring and shock settings, and stiffer anti-roll bars.
The Speed's 20-inch wheels are 0.5 inch wider than the base GT's 9.0-inch-wide wheels, and they wear 275/35 Pirelli P Zero rubber all around. (The lesser car has optional 275/30 20-inch rubber.)
